If you get a chance, check out our Lahontan Cutthroat trout episode on the Fisherman's Heaven TV show next week. We fished Omak Lake with Dan Beardsley, current Washington State record holder for Lahontans and he has that lake dialed in.
We caught fish all day long including a huge 10-pounder. At one time, Dan held the state record with a 14-pounder until he broke his own record with an 18-pounder a few years ago. The day we fished, it was sunny and calm and we were the only boat on the lake the whole time.
The down side is that it's a long drive for most Washington residents and you need a fishing permit from the Colville Tribe, but it's pretty cheap.
Like Lake Lenore, it's a hit-or-miss fishery, but if you hit it after the lake "turns over," you're going to be catching fish all day long.
Fisherman's Heaven: Mondays at 6PM PST, Tuesdays at 9PM PST, and Fridays at 10AM PST on the Outdoor Channel (http://www.outdoorchannel.com)

Hey, Kevin. Have you had any better luck with any of the local stations? Just wondering, as I'd love to watch some of the other shows.

Actually, several interested anglers have sent e-mails and letters in to their cable providers and it's starting to work. The local cable companies have been replying that they are looking into adding the Outdoor Channel here locally. We encourage others to do the same...if they get enough pressure, they will add the Outdoor Channel. Also, several have sent e-mails and letters to KONG-TV asking them to air our show and we're hoping to get added on there as well. Thanks,
Kevin
